Exposure Adjusting the light intensity

You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives

Aperture = Size of the opening allowing light to pass

Manual exposure:

Allows you to adjust the shutter speed and aperture value manually. t page 30

Adjusting EV:

Allows you to adjust the exposure that has been determined by the camera.

Metering Mode:

Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure. t page 36
